Hello my friends!!! I am feeling great today! I worked my back tonight- I was able to do 130# reverse grip pulldowns for 11 reps (my best ever). My strength gains are improving every week, so hopefully soon, I can convince my shoulders to grow:) I am trying a new supplement called Endothil CR. I started it today. It is a "muscle cell recruiter" that is used on people who have suffered some sort of muscle trauma (usually due to an accident of some sort). It is now being used by bodybuilders because it increases muscle mass. It only works if you tear down your muscles to complete failure. Since I already lift that way, I think it may work for me.....It is sold at GNC, I've done a lot of research on it. I have yet to find one person with a negative thing to say about it, and it is a totally legal supplement. I have to be careful that I am not taking any banned substances (gotta follow all the rules:)

The people at my gym started a "Biggest Loser" contest tonight. Each person had a private weigh in and payed $20, at the end of 12 weeks- the person with the most percentage of weight loss gets all the money. I think this is such an awesome idea! So far, there is about 40 people signed up. Nothing like $800 to help motivate you to diet:)

I watched my son wrestle tonight....can I brag for a minute? He is such a little stud! I am so proud of him. He is such a softy on the inside- and a little tazmanian devil when he's on the mats! I hope he keeps his love for the sport...it has given him such confidence. I am going to have to start taking valium for his actual matches.....I get so nervous for him- I can't eat or drink the whole day- which for me is a very big deal!!!! Did I mention he turns 6 this weekend? My baby is SIX!!! It seems like just the other day I was waddling around pregnant with him:)

I must go to bed....train hard everyone- NO EXCUSES!!!
